Statement | Fera Moira
The presence of fungi on columns and drawers symbolizes forces of nature and processes of regeneration and reclamation. Fera Moira (Greek for “Wild Fate”) represents ecological life returning to its ‘original’ state. The ‘rewilding' of architectural and domestic objects suggests the passage of time and the potential for life. In an era of ruin and despair, the fungi’s reclamation is ultimately hopeful.
